I'm pretty sure that Maggie is short for Magnavox. Just like most other vintage sets, it's worth "whatever someone will pay for it".

I hope you're joking about the copper thing...

Very good. Too bad about the plastic yellowing, happens so easily to sets with fire retardant materials in the plastic. Smoke can do it too. I've never seen a yellowed Apple II or Apple II Plus, from 1977 and 1979 respectively, but I've seen plenty of yellowed Apple IIe/IIc/IIgs computers, the first of those coming out in '83, so the fire retardants probably went into large-scale use around that time. Lots of yellowed early 70s Avantis I know, but Zenith products seemed to be in the forefront technology-wise for a long time.
